"Fado... again". Man you have NO clue what Fado is... that's for sure... 😂

Fado is not boring, Fado is feelings and history 🇵🇹

Me too! I listen to it so often and am amazed every time. I find it also absolutely beautiful

Great song from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤ greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

iolanda and her inner demons. I can only agree: absolutely beautiful.❤

Portugal merece quedar arriba, esto es precioso y toca el alma ❤

Portugal won eurovision in 2017with the highest score ever with Salvador Sobral. Many people think Portugal is only fado but fado is not to everybody .

Me encanta . Esta cancion es hermosísima. Fuerza portugal. ❤❤❤🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

The best part of this backing vocals is that Iolanda sings almost all of them.

Yes. This song is pure quality. Wonderful voice, lyrics. She's singing about letting go what hurt her. Dancers symbolize those thoughts/inner demons, therefore they are depersonalized with masks. She neutralizes them with her scream (Grito). Fado is good, modern or classic. Those who don't feel it are at loss. I'm not Portuguese. My country is Ramonda :). Both songs are something special, the lyrics as well as melodies, voices.

Thank you for your lovely comment. Hugs from Portugal 🇵🇹

Fado May not be your cup of tea but it certainly isn’t boring…. It is raw emotion, Portuguese soul thru and thru, saying it’s boring without understanding it, is an insult to an entire nation!! And this most certainly is not fado… she may have been inspired by it but fado is completely different. I wish people would learn more about it and try to understand where it comes from before giving opinion!!!! By the way, we have many more musical genres besides fado… some very innovative, others more experimental, like Conan a few years back!!! Proud of our artists for always showcasing our roots and being true to ourselves, and singing mostly in Portuguese… we don’t play to win we play with substance , and celebrate our originality and our difference

Yes, this is gold. Thanks for your surprising reaction. ❤️❤️❤️ Senhora do Mar is a reference to Iolanda, and GRITO has to be in the final. It’s a masterpiece 👌

“Music is NOT fireworks” 🇵🇹❤️

Thank you so much for your comments and reactions!! 🇵🇹🥰

Portugal is very well represented. A powerful voice, beautiful music, A representation of pure art with the dancers. Congratulations Portugal.

Thank you for the comment on Iolanda and her beautiful song "Grito"!

Thanks for your comments! Portugal entry it's just pure poetry! Beautiful! ❤❤❤

That is not fado! Fado it’s different. Thank you ❤️

Thanks from Portugal. You are welcome

Darling we have never sent a fado music and this is not fad, Mimicat also didn’t sing flamenco, even if there are some elements, please…

The faces covered means her feelings, emotions an and demons which she tries to overcome. Because of a iner fire that still burns (ainda arde) ,still burns. GRITO means SCREAM

I am sorry first that you do not know what fado is and second for not understanding that we do not need to win. We take to Eurovision what we are and what we like, I believe that is the point of this contest. Maybe sometime we can ask a computer to make a commercial song so we can sound like everyone else and win the contest........

Portugal win with a very SLOW song man. One of the highest scores Ever

Um abraço de Portugal. Obrigada.

Go Portugal 🎉 is perfect

That is not fado ! Just because is melancholy doesn't mean is fado 😂 It's pop

She is amanzing ❤❤❤ thanks from Portugal ❤

It's not Fado, obviously. People tend to classify most music from Portugal as Fado, but Fado is only a very, very small portion of the portuguese music. The covered faces are to not distract from the main character, the singer. They represent her demons. The scream is when she frees herself from them. Salvador Sobral's win (with the most points ever in the Eurovision) was the proof that not always the gimmicks are needed to win the Eurovision. But Iolanda will never win, of course. The eurovision is not only about the music, unfortunetly, it's mostly about friendly neighboars voting on each other, politics (I bet Israel will have a disastrous result, for example...), etc

It’s not a commercial song for sure as most of them are. It’s a cry. (GRiTO). Different but beautiful. Iolanda has a very nice/ powerful voice. Well done Portugal! 👏👏👏

I'm Portuguese. A country that lives through music and poetry. Our roots are embedded in music. We had a revolution - on 24th April 1974 -, which brought us out from a dictatorship, and the signal for the beginning of said revolution was two songs playing on the radio, one of which had actually been a Eurovision participant. It initiated the military against the regime. And yet it was all so poetic... a florist in the midst of Lisbon distributed carnations amongst the people, and many of these flowers were placed in the military's gun barrels. It was a peaceful yet effective revolution: poetic. And we ended the dictorship. So we thrive on the pouring of our souls into the world, not worried about being accepted... but instead, pledging to be heard. Our eurovision songs are pure and pure poetry. Impactful, memorable and rarely not of an irreparable elegance. Very proud of Ioland. Such a beautiful song! Such a heartfelt performance! Such a mindblowing voice. And even if biased, I believe it was the most beautiful song this year and that it may end up on the soundtrack of some epic movie. Yes, you do give in to the song! It makes one's blood flow. :-)

This has REALLY nothing to do with fado 😢 like nothing. The only thing in this video that seems like fado is this thing that ioland did with her voice in minute 2:09 (not the time of the song but the time of your video). You all literally almost always call "fado" for our slow songs 😂 idk why. For fado, listen Marisa singing "Oh gente da minha terra" live (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZh5o5Cmus7Fn30.htmlsi=I9EQzkbX-gYpYrpq) or Sara Correia (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rauad8yip8uUlGg.htmlsi=h2TtqD4EuYS9JExH) But thank you for your honest reaction to the song 🤍 It is sad that a lot of people dont get any emotions with our song :(

Portugal won Eurovision Contest in 2017 with Salvador Sobral performing "Amar pelos dois"....was that a boring song?! I loved it and...many others also loved it!

You started Not very good...but ended very well! iolanda is amazing! And Senhora do Mar was iolanda's favourite portugals act at eurovision!😂 Should mean some thing to you! Mine too by the way... This Grito its an healing thing...an captivating and almost hipnotic music...made with skills and Art! TELEVOTE for Portugal at 1st semifinal please!!! 🇵🇹🤘🏼🫂🇵🇹🇵🇹😊

Love from Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤

Sorry, we respect your opinion but you don't know nothing about Fado to say this is Fado! Also Portugal never send any Fado Song, only some inspired in fado litlle parts in some few songs sent to the Eurovision. So I think your opinion it's a giant comom place that every bad informed fan of the eurovision say's. Thanks for apreciating the song but, not thanks, for the "emptiness of your comment.

Thank you for your sincere react.. I think you didn't see this coming.. you were surprised. Grito is Scream in English, and Grito not appear in the lyrics.. Grito is the scream in the climax of the song, when she liberates from the demons represented by the dancers. It is not commercial. A masterpiece. No one in the Eurovision compares to this.🇵🇹 "Ainda arde".. means "still burns", the flame that she still has inside of her. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdNid8t1zbCYXWw.htmlsi=a8WRXKPz9TPV3QiO

you must to hear the acoustic version

You have to check what Fado is, i’m sorry.

His first comment was about the dancers… when the moment she opened her mouth was incredible

Beautifulll obrigado.

Portugal can´t go down to the level of Eurovision Song Contest. Portuguese music does not fit in the Eurovision Circus.

Totally right!! Top ten song 🎉

We don't mind being boring... We take always something different, with our culture and many times with our language. Eurovision would be much more interesting with our aproach (my opinion).

Go Portugal

Do you know what fado is? This isn't fado, it's a pop song with an acoustic guitar.

Preciosa ❤

In the last 8 years (since 2017) Portugal was top10 3 times (this year included).

This not os fado!

Why do they want to silence us? Portugal's song was not released on Eurovision social media, why? Long live freedom, mouth peace.

Portugal é a melhor canção tem uma pureza e mágica ❤🇵🇹

Canção foi na minha opinião fantástica mistura de fado 👍 top ❤

Portugal just sended in 2012 a fado song. Senhora do mar is not fado. Nice reaction

❤❤❤❤🇵🇹🇵🇹🇨🇭

The Sound of Vitory

The man who is doing the comment have no idea what fado is

Isto não é fado !!!

🇵🇹🔥iolanda is a 💎🔥🇵🇹

“Fado again” ??? 😳

🇵🇹❤️

❤❤❤Portugal 🇵🇹 love

Aqui fala-se muito de fado mas na verdade a maioria não sabe verdadeiramente o que é fado.

Tiveste que engolir o que disseste no início.😂

Fado os boring?! Last year flamenco?! You dont even know what you are Talking about! Not even Senhora do Mar is Fado! And this year is not Fado! I dont era you Talking about greece always Bring that ethnic sound! This is ART man!

Dont understand why people this is fado. And not innthe top 10 becuase has no fireworks and people with underwear. But love coment. You could see the quality

❤Iolanda Grito🇵🇹🇵🇹👏👏👏👏👏

Some points here... In Portugal not only exist one kind of Fado, we have a lot of variations of it; Fado Cantado, Fado Vadio, Fado Corrido, and others..., so saying that all Portuguese songs are Fado, well, let's see the last years, Mimicat, not fado, Maro not fado, Black Mamba with a all english song not fado, conan osíris not fado, even Salvador Sobral was not fado, more like it a disney song ...we have many examples of not fado songs in eurovision. For example, to me, for a song at least be a fado song, must have the portuguese guitarr in fado mode, many songs have the portuguese guitarr but not in fado mode, last year for example mostly people thinking Mimicat use a portuguese guitarr in her song, and after all was a normal guitarr with modifications. Sra do Mar finish 13th, Maro with Saudade Saudade finish 9th in 2022 inside top 10, Black Mamba was near in 2021 with 12th place.

How is Portugal not in the Eurivision top 10, if Salvador Sobral won the contest with the song “Amar dos Dois” in 2017?

in 2016 (edit: its was 2017, not 2016), we won with a "boring" song... from Salvador Sobral (amar pelos dois) Thks for your reaction!

♥♥

You have feel all in the end... yes iolanda we scream... it s timevto scream about this world... it s beautil thanks try tonlisten the acoustic version in the chnnel eurovision it was in lisbon in a very special place and soul.. ❤❤❤❤

If this is fado, i am the Noel guy

This is has nothing to do with fado!

Hi, as a portuguese, i recomend you to learn a bit more about the origins of the Fado song, and the amazing diversity of styles that are part of the musical universe of Portugal. You are mistaken about what you call boring. And i think you slhould, for instants, research styles like Corridinho Algarvio, Cante Alentejano. After i can give you a free tour of the eighties: Vida Num Só Dia - Rádio Macau; Amor - Heróis do Mar; Cairo - Taxi; Jafumega. This are examples, only from the eighties, what means that you have much more to research before you can talk about what you assume as boring Fado. Have a nice day.

Iolanda's song is an incredible, briliant, pure modern composition which has nothing to do with FADO, traditional, medieval or classical music at all. For classical portuguese music, listen to : Marcos PORTUGAL who has composed about 40 operas, Francisco Antonio DE ALMEIDA, Domingos BOMTEMPO, Luis DE FREITAS BRANCO, José VIANA DA MOTA, Rui COELHO (cf. 'A PRINCESA DOS SAPATOS DE FERRO ' and others), Carlos SEIXAS, Antonio TEIXEIRA, Francisco DE LACERDA, Joao Lourenço REBELO, BRAGA SANTOS, LEAL MOREIRA, Antonio CARNEIRO, ... ❤

Força Portugal 👏👏👏🎤🎸❤💚🇵🇹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

No bubble gum poppy stuff ! 💪🏼 We can fail... But fail in style and with head up high. Music is art and culture BUT lot's of contestants songs, year after year are crappy disposable bubble gum music. 🔥🇵🇹

Peço desculpa mas devia de se informar antes de comentar... não existe nada pior do que a ignorância....Fado é uma das grandes heranças de Portugal...haja nais respeito por nós.

This is not fado lol. And most portuguese music is melancholic yes, because that is the portuguese default soul, tragic fate, longing... you won't get it unless you're, well, portuguese.

“Those calm, boring songs that are not made for Eurovision” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

i'm addict ;-)

Fado? I don't think you actually know what fado is 😂😂😂 no, it's not even like senhora do mar 😂😂😂

Thanks for reacting ~ Good ✌🏻 for 🇮🇱.

de fado não tem nada, quem diz que é fado nao percebe nada de fado

Bro, not every ballad is fado 😂 we dont send Fado since 2012

❤❤❤❤

Boring like fado? How can you talk like that about a national song. And no this song isn't fado

It's not Fado or Flamenco, it's a Pop genre

Senhora do mar IS fado.

Dude, not once in the last 30 years Portugal sent Fado 😂 Santa ignorância…

I thougth you were gonna hate it when it said that you wished it wasnt slow...😅

Fado again? Lol. Do you know what is fado?

Com todo o respeito, isto nao é fado, e infelismente é pena que nao tenhas realmente entendido e sentido a musica mas tudo bem

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5d4Zq-knsuUhWg.html&start_radio=1

We never ever sent Fado to Eurovision. Do u even know what Fado is?

I think this is the best song and singer, and I am NOT Portuguese. If you think that Fado is boring...

Even though I'm not a festival fanatic, it was good and gave a signal that many didn't understand, but those who voted understood - No to wars! Free and Independent Palestine! People are intelligent, but we also know that there are hypocrites

this is far from Fado my friend please listen Fado and listen this - not same thing, and about this song is realy beautiful

I've seen only three of your reaction videos, and guess what, me too, I also felt that I've heard the same criticism over and over again. Why do I feel that your react videos are always a bit disrespectful? Portugal is a great place to die? Really? Slow and boring like Fado? So disrespectfull! You have the right to your own opinion, but please, respect other's language and tradition. Fado has it's own identity, surely not everyone can understand the beauty within... I guess it's easy to find English songs, anywhere, anytime, even a little bit to much at ESC.
